Molecular mechanism of microRNA-21 promoting Schwann cell proliferation and axon regeneration during injured nerve repair.

ABSTRACT: At present, the functional recovery after nerve injury is not satisfactory in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to explore the molecular mechanism of miR-21 promoting Schwann cells (SC) proliferation and axon regeneration after peripheral nerve injury, providing a theoretical basis for injured nerve repair. Nerve injury models were constructed to determine the expression of miR-21 in the injured nerve by Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qRT-PCR). After miR-21 over-expression SC (mimic-miR-21) group, control SC (control-miR-21) group and blank SC (RSC96) group were constructed, SC proliferation was determined by CCK-8, cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry, dorsal root ganglion neuron (DRGn) axon regeneration was observed after DRGn was cultured with SCs for 7 days, the expression
